When visiting Assateague Island, remember-this is wildlife and this is dangerous. Those putting your young children on the ground in front of the ponies so you get a cute picture. This-This is why I politely informed you-You know they are wild and they kick and bite. Yeah-we know!? Please Stay 40 feet back and SLOW DOWN and enjoy them from afar. Featured is stallion Dewey-the only blue eyed pony on MD side. The other is A Flame for Coltie who is trying to win Dewey's mare Johnny's Star. 8-15-2026

One of my favorite raptors to observe. This juvenile male is the only fledgling from North Beach South pier nest. He is practicing his flight and he is doing well.
